Time flies....

September 30, 2013/ Cynira

The last week of September was super busy! I finally finished celebrating my birthday (September babies wooo) and now I need to catch up on everything thing else that I've been neglecting. So stay tuned for tons of updates on my latest hauls on make up, jewelry and of course fashion!

Yesterday, I walked into my glam room and decided I wanted to style an outfit that was dedicated to my favorite colors for fall: burgundy, emerald and cobalt blue. I love these colors because they are so rich and can easily be paired with some of your favorite neutrals that you already have in your closet.

I kept this look very classic and light on the accessories because I wanted the colors to do all of the work so let's take a look!

What I’m wearing:

Shirt: XSRE Shoes: Vince Camuto Skirt: 2cuute Ring: XSRE Handbag: Audrey Brooke Sunglasses: Gucci Lipcolor: MAC Cosmetics Magenta lipliner with Lust for life lipgloss Nailpolish: Anise Nailpolish

Xoxo,

CCC

The End of an Era...

September 19, 2013/ Cynira

The end of summer is always bitter sweet for me. I'm going to miss rocking my summer maxi dresses and cute sparkly sandals but I'm ready to rock some boots! This past weekend in NY it wasn't too hot but it definitely wasn't fall weather, so I decided to rock a cute and casual look that will easily transition me into fall.

For the last picture I actually changed my lip color. I lined my lips with MAC Nightmoth lipliner, then used MAC sweet succulence.

What I’m wearing:

Jacket: Rainbow's Shops Flats: Vince Camuto Lipstick: MAC Cosmetics Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen Earrings: Body Central

Xoxo,

CCC

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment

September 15, 2013/ Cynira

New to my beauty regime is the Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen.

I received a set of samples in one of my older Tarte orders and I've heard so much about them since they took the US beauty scene by storm over the past year I've been dying to try it out.

In case you don't know, a BB cream stands for Beauty Balm. It's a new hybrid beauty product that hydrates and evens out skin tones. Most BB creams cover like a tinted moisturizer and I know some people like to use it as a replacement for a foundation because it's packed with nutrients for the skin and provides light coverage. Now let's focus on the Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen.

Without Flash/Inside Light

With Flash/Inside Light

Tarte's BB cream comes in 4 shades: fair, light, medium, and tan which is great for people who have a hard time finding the perfect coverage. I've actually spent hundreds of dollars on tons of foundations and it was funny that I found one I liked so much in a tiny free sample.

It is very creamy and mousse like with a semi-matte finish. You can wear it alone or use it as a skin primer for foundation. One of the best things I found about it is that it's great for build-able coverage so if you're running out of the house quickly and don't have the time to put on your full face, you can quickly put this on and be on your way. If you are going to build coverage with this BB cream, I suggest building it in thin layers so it doesn't go on looking cakey. For a very light coverage, I suggest putting it on with your finger. If you want to build coverage then I would use a thin brush to achieve medium coverage.

I've been wearing it for about a month now and it's safe to say that it's here to stay!

You can pick it up at TarteCosmetics.com or at Sephora!

So what do you think? Is a BB cream for you?

MAC Guilty Passions – Lavish Rose Lip Gloss Set

September 06, 2013/ Cynira

So I know this collection came out last year but I just picked it up and I fell in love with the colors so I had to show you guys!

Gorgeous colors right?! I love the pigmentation and gloss of all 4 but my favorites are definitely Colours saturation and Boys go crazy. I have a love obsession with red, wine and purple on my lips!

Here's a fun look I did using MAC Magenta lipliner, MAC Heroine lipstick and MAC Boys go crazy lipgloss.
